Sample identification and tracking in biobanks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)Biobanks or bio-repositories facilitate the storage and maintenance of biological samples and data to support discovery of biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and the underlying causes of diseases. Such discoveries require ... -
Self-organizing topology adaptation in peer-to-peer networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)The peers in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) system arrange themselves in a virtual network called the overlay network. The overlay network sits above the underlying physical network and is used to search for resources and peers, ... -
Semantic-based service analysis and optimization
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)The need to autonomically optimize end user service experience in near real time has been identified in the literature in recent years. Service management systems that monitor end user service session context are deployed ... -
Semantic-oriented cross-lingual ontology mapping
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2011)Ontologies support knowledge discovery, sharing and reuse among people and enable semantic interoperability between computer-based systems. To establish correspondences between knowledge concepts represented in ontologies, ... -
Situation-based testing for ubiquitous computing systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2011)A common trend in modern applications is the move towards more mobile, adaptive, customisable software. The evolution of software from static, invariant tools for narrow portions of a task to adaptive, open interaction ... -
Slicepedia open corpus slicing for Adaptive Web Systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)The growing demand for user experiences on the web addressing individual needs, is driving the mainstream adoption of personalisation technologies across broad fields of interests. Adaptive Web Systems (AWSs) have traditionally ... -
Sobriquet : a personal naming and identity management system
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2012)The Internet in its current form lacks an adequate identity infrastructure. Every rel- evant application must provide its own solution to the problem of authenticating and naming people. Many of these applications share ... -
Social grid agents
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2009)The problem of resource allocation in Grid computing has been actively tackled by the scientific community for some years; its complexity is in meeting the expectations of different actors with different concepts of ... -
Space & time efficient sparse matrix transpose
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)Matrix operations are fundamental to linear algebra and have many important applications in areas such as sinmlation of physical systems, economic modeling, linear optimization and numerical analysis. One of the fundamental ... -
Statistical models for rank data
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)Rank data arise when a set of judges rank some or all of a set of objects. Rank data emerges in many areas of society; the list of the world’s most cited scientists or the final ordering of horses in a race provide examples ... -
Strengthening real-time support in wireless networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)Wireless networks exhibit unpredictable and varying connection reliability as a result of node mobility and resultant changes in wireless signal propagation. Wireless signal propagation not only depends on the receiver’s ... -
Supporting the tutor in a tutor-tutee adaptive educational system
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2009)Adaptive educational systems have been successful in providing personalised support in a myriad of domains (Melias & Siekmann, 2004). To provide such support, the adaptive educational system builds an internal representation ... -
Supporting Wizard of Oz experimentation for language technology applications
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)Wizard of OZ (WOZ) is a well-established method used by researchers and product designers to simulate the functionality and user experience of future systems. Using a human wizard to mimic possible operations is particularly ... -
Temporally consistent region based video segmentation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)This thesis addresses the problem of segmenting a video sequence in a temporally consistent fashion, so that the labels assigned to particular region remain the same throughout the sequence. Energy minimisation, and in ... -
The development of a stages of growth model for information systems within government departments
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)This dissertation proposes a stages of growth model for the use of information and communications technology/information systems in large government departments. The stages of growth model presented maps the changes through ... -
The MOUSE approach : mapping ontologies using UML for system engineers
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)To address the problem of semantic heterogeneity, there has been a large body of research directed toward the study of semantic mapping technologies. Although various semantic mapping technologies have been investigated, ... -
The multi-model, metadata driven approach to personalised eLearning services
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2005)One of the major obstacles in developing quality eLearning content is the substantial development costs involved and development time required [Marchionini, 95]. Educational providers, such as those in the university ... -
The OISIN framework : ontology interoperability in support of semantic interoperability
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2006)The promise of ontologies is in the sharing of an understanding of a domain that can be communicated between people and application systems (Fensel 2003). However, different ontologies arise due to the natural human ...
